Memo field for keywords, folders, albums or projects

Question

Hi -
I'm reading the manual and liking what I learn.
My pc-based DAM is very capable and has a couple of features that I'd like to know if Aperture has, but that I'm not seeing where to find them.
I would like to be able to include a memo-field, or post-it note, about any of the following:
Example 1: Keywords
Keyword = Mary and Associated Memo = friend from nursery school
Keyword = Joan and Associated Memo = mother's brother's wife's mother
Keyword = Candlesticks and Associated Memo = family heirloom from Austria blah blah blah
I don't want to put the description in the IPTC caption field, because the info isn't about a particular photo, and I certainly would not want to include it with every photo. Just a one-time description
Example 2: IPTC sub-location
Sub-location = 7 Smith Street and Associated Memo =we lived there from 1941-1943 and loved the large dining room
Example 3: Project
Project = trip to Peru and Associated Comment = Jane raised $4000 to pay for her expenses for this trip and volunteered in a small town as a teacher blah blah blah
You get the idea, I think.
A work-around, assuming Aperture doesn't have this ability (yet!), would be to create dummy empty images, include the text in the caption field, and enter the corresponding metadata. I would use icons for the dummy image (icons designating About this Person, About this Place, About this Event....)
Example, keyword = So, whenever I retrieve images of Joan, I also get an About this Person dummy image, with the description of who she is.
Feedback?
Ideas?
Plans for Aperture to include something along the lines of Excel's comment which can be associated with a cell, or perhaps Speech Bubble explanations?
thanks

I am in process of doing some rearrangement to make Projects as the main box (the file drawer) with headings like: iPhone, Assignments, Events, Landscape, People, Travel. Then, a specific folder under the project. Then, an Album under the Folder.
This should be started as a new thread -- do so if you have any questions.
Strongly recommend using Projects as intended (see comments by Frank and DLSCreative in current thread ^1^ and long comment by me in another thread ^2^ ). In your case that would mean Folders with the headings you've selected, the (most likely) Projects, then Albums (and perhaps more Folders).
